Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker scored an unreal match-winner for his side in last night’s 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.
You did read that correctly.
The Brazil star went up for a corner-kick, with the Reds in desperate need of a miracle – to keep hopes of Champions League qualification alive – with just seconds left on the clock.
Trent Alexander-Arnold whipped in a brilliant cross and it met the head of Alisson, who finished off the chance like Emile Heskey in his prime.

Honestly, it’s hard to put into words exactly what we saw last night and what it means – perhaps the messages from former players above can help paint the picture.
Alisson’s goal won Liverpool all three points against West Brom, meaning the Reds are now just one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea with two Premier League fixtures remaining.
